Bothered me at first, same as it did to know that Vortex is completely made in China. But once you start using the glass youll get over it. Both make very good scopes.
Not quite, and naughty you for saying so.
Glass is made in Asia, as in Japan, not china, with the rest of the parts being made in either USA or USA friendly countries.
If that ever changes, then I'll look elsewhere. Until then, I'll not support communist china who's government is bent on destroying the economy of our country.
I'm in contact with Leupold several times a year just to chase down some of the counterfeit crap that comes out of china.
Add to that their life time warranty and they are still good to go in my book, and agency.
PS. The link below is a good little write up a Leupold Facility tour. Very interesting reading.
